Welcome to Meant for More: Elevated Business & Life with Kristina Gazi.

This podcast is for anyone ready to elevate how they live, work, and grow — with more intention, clarity, and awareness.

We explore relationships, career, business, wealth, and wellness through honest conversations, real experiences, and practical tools you can actually apply in your life.

The biggest lie about happiness?

That it comes from outside of you — money, success, relationships, achievements.

In this episode, Kristina is joined by Shireena Ashroff, Happiness & Wellbeing Expert, to break down the real rules of the game of happiness — and why most people are unknowingly losing.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking:

“I’ll be happy when…”

— this conversation will shift your perspective.

Because happiness isn’t something you find.

It’s something you build — intentionally, daily, and with effort.

• Why external success doesn’t create lasting happiness

• The truth about money, achievements, and happiness

• Why happiness is not effortless (and never was)

• The hidden habits that quietly make you unhappy

• How simple daily actions can shift your emotional state

• Happiness doesn’t come from what you get — but how you live

• You don’t “arrive” at happiness — you practice it

• Small daily habits matter more than big life milestones

• Doing more is not always the answer (sometimes it’s doing less)

• Happiness takes effort — and that’s actually empowering
